Cheap golf near the beach

Overall was a good round. Pro shop and starter both very nice and helpful. Greens are kept in great shape. Other parts of the course are in rough shape i.e. Tee boxes, fairways, traps. There was a lot of sod laid on some tee boxes and fairway areas which shows they are trying. Municipal course and it is what you would expect at the price. I would come back again if I was looking for a cheap round in the area.

Awful condition

The golf course is in awful condition always. Huge part of the fairways are missing and are just dirt. The greens have crab grass growing along the fringes, and the tee boxes are a mess. It's cheap and different but you get exactly what you pay for.

Cloudy day but ...

The weather the weekend before had been a nor'eastern.. The course was still in great shape. Course is big and challenging. Fairways were soggy in places but still in good shape this time of year in NJ. Fairways were narrow, water hazards on all holes on back 9. Being a group of ladies had no problems on course. Pace was great and staff were friendly. We always have a great time when we play here. Even on days that are busy and crowed never feel rushed and plenty of room for everyone. Going back next week!

A challenge

1st time here . Tight course , have to hit it straight and to your spots . Good amount of trouble spots all over . Course needs some work though , bunkers in rough shape along with fairways without much grass which Leeds me to believe it would be brutal in the dead of summer .Greens and tee boxes in good shape ...

Fair price

The greens are very nice but tee boxes and fairways are very poor condition. We played you could move the ball in the fairway to grass. We made the most of it and had fun. I wouldn't pay more than $35 to play it.

Course was foll of geese and geese feces. If don't mind stepping around the stuff and putting through it you can play. Fairways were in fair condition and I was constantly moving my ball to find a spot to hot it from.
